normally fold preflop. I doubt you would have won any more money here if you had just called. Slow play in generaly = really bad without absolute nuts.

I don't slow play low limit, they are generally going to call anyways.
but with 4 people still to act and a board taht IS NOT draw heavy i may have tried for overcalls and then popped the turn.

Fold this garbage preflop. Then you won't be in this situation.

yeah, i usually dont bother with slowplaying cause SOMEONE will usually call all the way down. But i think i should have waited for the turn here, theres not much i could have been woried about. Maybe this is a fold preflop, but Q10 is one of those hands i just like to play more than i should :P

It's not a maybe. It's a definate. You should be looking to cut out losing hands. They lose money.

I have to agree with emon here. Get pokertracker so you can see how much it's costing you to play hands like this that LOOK good...but aren't.

Calling would have been appropriate. If the board were a little more drawish, the raise might be correct. Making the field face two bets isn't going to get you the action you want on a hand that is unlikely to be outdrawn.
